Tonight, this very night, is HUGE for me. Two months ago I was updating my resume for an awesome work opportunity that I really wanted in my life. As I was updating, the thought "I hope I don't F&%k it up" went through my mind. And I stopped, thought about it, and could not figure out how I had gotten to this point where my first thought when going for a dream is that I hope I do not mess it up. That got the ball rolling, brought me here to SR, and launched this whole new chapter. Happy to say that the job mentioned above is now mine to lose. Tonight. There is a cocktail party with a ton of people who have a lot of power...and these will be the 'yes' or 'no' moments tallied for a final decision. Don't worry, I'm checking these power people out as well. 
Totally sober. I'm going for it! My plan is in place. My outfit is chosen. The butterflies are safely confined to my stomach. This is mine. I'm gonna get it! You all have played such a part in me being here, at this moment...you have no idea. If you have the chance to read this, please cross your fingers and send super vibes into the aether.

Hey LTV,
so will you do a happy dance for us on SR?
I absolutely know the feeling, I think... had it several times in my life, working for / getting the job I dreamed of. The last time was the most intense of all, for me, and it was ~4 years ago. Still in. This job of mine was also a major incentive when I finally quit drinking. I would have been ready to kill myself if I did not have this, I think. And I'm still in love.
